[QUOTE="Day, post: 76713, member: 1967"] whilst both are simpler tables, the gameplay of both is quite compelling and both tables exhibit that just one more game phenomenon. Both tables also have central targets which require strategic and sequential hits to advance and in both cases defensive blocks/saves can result in unwanted or out-of-sequence strikes to the central target which i find adds interest and variety to the gameplay on these simpler tables. i voted for Pin*Bot, but only by a hair... i played PB in my youth, if there had been a Centaur in my arcade (which there wasn't), the menacing bikers in dirty leathers & denims would have gravitated towards like flies to #&%$, and i'd have had no chance anyway. But Pin*Bot gets the vote not simply for pure nostalgia reasons, i really enjoy the electronic bleeps and burps it emits. Whilst the reverb on Centaur is unusual (unique possibly), i'm finding the limited number of voice samples and their repetition, ever so slightly grating...("Destroy Centaur"). But i still think Centaur is an excellent table with engaging gameplay.... However, the bleeps and belches of pin*bot are so in keeping with the theme & artwork and just tie everything together so very well. all in all though a fantastic 2 table pack, i think we all can agree on that.
